Previous studies have shown that the presence of nitrate in drinking water can cause several diseases especially in the infants, such as cancer and blue baby. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has since adopted the 50 mg/l standard as the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for nitrate for regulated public water systems. This study aimed to evaluate the concentration of nitrate in the drink...

Geospatial Health was launched as a forum for the publication of essential epidemiological information derived from the application of geographical information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS), spatial statistics and remote sensing from Earth-orbiting satellites. The above-mentioned tools were developed in parallel over the last 50 years and were originally used for diverse appli...
